Cole Palmer has become something of a fashion icon as of late, starring in luxury campaigns and posing for magazine shoots.

The Chelsea player has earned respect on the pitch for bagging 27 goals during the Blues’ 2023/24 campaign, donning the label of the coldest man in the game. But his passions extend beyond the 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge, with the England international breaking into the world of fashion.

He starred alongside Crystal Palace man Eberechi Eze in Burberry’s outerwear campaign earlier this year, and is set to co-host GQ’s Men of the Year event with Manchester United superstar Kobbie Mainoo on Tuesday.

But before grabbing the microphone to lineup alongside Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and rapper Central Cee, Palmer took the time to detail what fashion means to him.

“I do love fashion,” he told The Telegraph. “What you put on, people do look at, and maybe they’ll start wearing it. I do see where it [the flashy footballer stereotype] comes from. Not everyone’s like that.”

Palmer’s latest shoot, for GQ, sees him model both a stylish satin tracksuit and a thick suit jacket. However, during his interview for the brand’s Man of the Year, the Chelsea star gave a simple answer when asked what he likes to wear.

“I just wear trackies,” he told GQ.
